If \(x + 2y = 2x - y\), then \(x = \)


(A) \(-y\)

(B) \(\frac{y}{3}\)

(C) \(y\)

(D) \(2y\)

(E) \(3y \)

Let's manipulate the given equation to express x in terms of y:

\(\Rightarrow\) x + 2y = 2x - y

\(\Rightarrow\) x - 2x = -2y - y

\(\Rightarrow\) -x = -3y

\(\Rightarrow\) x = 3y

Answer: E
